I am full of gratitude for my life - and for this house.

The public has always had affection for gay entertainers. The time was right for an out gay entertainer.

Just because someone's dead doesn't mean it's over. My grandfather died more than 25 years ago, but I still think of him a lot and smell his smell.

The English like eccentrics. They just don't like them living next door.

I knew that this was what I wanted to talk about on stage. There was no point being coy about it, or pretending that I wasn't gay. That was the substance of my whole act. If you took that away, there would be nothing left

I've found a more personal, pagan kind of religion to satisfy the spiritual side of things.

A lot of gay men have a lot of sex. That's what we do. But I've stopped all that-the revolving door into my bedroom. Promiscuity. That was of its day, really.
